If I'm going to spend $140k on a motorhome, I don't want the interior to look like an $80k motorhome. I also don't want to spend $20k remodeling it. Winnebago's are great, but like you said, they need to differentiate more between models, rather than a "one-size-fits-all" approach.
I agree with you about everything on this coach. We formally owned a 36' Sunstar and loved it. The quality was outstanding, the décor, not so much. Our current piece of junk, that we had traded in for, has beautiful décor and features, but the quality is the worst!!! I would take quality over beauty any day!
Love the big seats up front,and the work station,so handy.love you can walk through with slides in.love the box seats.hate the cabinetry at this price.hate plastic for toilets or facets.everyone who helped while andrea was gone did awesome job,although I would buy from any of you,I do love you two together best !! Ty
Matt & Andrea thank you for always being honest ... 3 Things I Like: 1) King Size bed, 2) Storage Space & 3) Partial Body Paint but 3 Things I Hate: 1) Bathroom Plastic Toilet & Sink 2) Fridge (Not Residential for the Price) & 3) Interior Colors (Bland)
Hey Matt & Andrea! Welcome back and we missed you! Congratulations on your new home! I hope that life brings you what you deserve. Take care and Peace!
Love the entryway shoe cabinet! Love Winnebago cabinet. We love the split bathroom we have it in our Intent. Winnebago does need to up their game with the toilets.
I think the fact that Winnebago makes a lot of their own components has limited the choices they have for decor. They don’t want to have to make a ton of different options. My opinion. 🤷🏽♀️
Where to begin? We started out our motorhoming life with an Itasca Navion. We loved it and we thought when we bought a Class A we'd stay with Winnebago. But this product exemplifies what is wrong with the choices Winnebago has made in their class A series today. This would have been a great motorhome 15 years ago but now as a new model it is out the door completely dated. So . . .. 3 Things I like: 1. Storage. It has that in spades. Nice job W. 2. Accessibility of Inverter, Water Pump, and other systems. 3. Actual inline drain valves instead of plugs for the freshwater and low point drains. Things I don't like (way more than 3) 1. No outside shower. This is really convenient to have when winterizing/de-winterizing. 2. Cheap plastic 2-lever faucets. 3. Cheap acrylic bathroom sink 4. Cheap plastic toilet. (Our 2007 Navion had the same toilet.) 5. OnePlace monitor? Really!? Come on . . where's the multiplex wiring and panel? 6. No full body paint option. 7. You have to pay extra for 50 amp and 2 air conditioners. No way one A/C cools this unit. 8. No windows in the bedroom. You are running the air on even the nicest nights. 9. Bland interior with limited or no choices in upholstery or colors. 10. No electric option for the water heater. 11. Floor vents instead of integration into cabinets. I'll give Winnie credit on their build. They do a great job there as far as not cheaping out on putting shelves in cabinets, and continuing to use struts to hold cabinet doors open, etc. Those things are all good. But when we shopped we wound up buying a Georgetown because they had left Winnebago in the dust as far as amenities. Nobody else is using plastic toilets and acrylic sinks at this price point. We have a single lever, metal kitchen faucet. (Apparently, nobody at Winnebago has ever tried to conserve water while camping.) And why not have the water heater with electric option? If I'm paying for electric at a campsite why would I want to burn my propane to heat water? And the OnePlace monitoring system? Again, our 2007 Navion had that.
I love all the interior and exterior storage,the floor layout and simple colors. I dislike the plastic toilet and the bedroom needs more windows. Welcome back Andrea!!
Hi Matt and Andrea! It’s great to see you again Andrea! My likes I like the storage inside and out. You move around really well with slides in and out. Like the theater seats. Like the counter space. Like the bedroom wardrobe space. My dislikes are the sane as yours Matt and Andrea! Welcome back Andrea! Glad to see you back! Missed you! See you both soon!
OMG, I love love love this one. I love the recliners and layout so much. Where you see bland, I see where I can make this my own style. The wet bay is wonderful. Love the plain valences so they don't clash with my objects that I put in there. This is timeless and classy. Until this video, I was going to go with Thor, but now I have to do more research. I don't care for only one window in the bed slide and the plastic toilet. Would rather have a queen bed and more side tables.
I love the neutral decor. Add a beautiful bedspread, a small rug to collect the sand from foot traffic , a picture or two, and a couple throw pillows to customize to the individual’s taste. I would rather have a neutral decor then some of the stuck in the 80s or 70s basement decor many of the manufacturers turn out. I will take quality over interior design any day. BTW: Matt - I drive a VOLVO! (Not lying!!!). Love you all! Good luck with the new house.
It’s a beautiful motor home. When you buy a house, you decorate it to your likings and taste. I don’t usually care for the color schemes of most RV’s. This lets me decide what to do with it. It has almost every other amenity you guys normally desire, except for the porcelain toilet. Your tastes are not always the same as others. I do want to know why you did not have the thing washed before showing the outside. That’s your error, Matt. That’s a dislike from me to you. LOL! Other than that, great job as usual.
Matt & Andrea Well, not a bad unit over all, plain but very functional. A few items that I don't particularly care for is.... the Generator is in the bedroom area, shower across from the washroom, and radio/nav screen to small, sure would be nice if the radio/ nav screen would tilt or swivel toward the driver or passenger.
Andrea, it's nice to see you again. Moving is always a pain with packing. I hope your move goes/went smoothly. At least you have a pool to look forward to. This RV is nice, I definitely like the outside doors, with the slam latch and that they open to the side. Much easier to access. For that much $$$, I they could not only have put in a porcelain toilet, but also made the storage underneath the dinette accessable by drawers or doors. I see that in class C's and the towables Matt & Will show plenty.
Whooot. Andrea is Back!!! TV is miss placed. How can I cook or do dishes while my hubby is trying to watch TV? I like the color scheme and the amount of counter space. should have a window over the stove. Shoe storage is nice. I like the kitchen storage. I like the bathroom storage. Plastic toilets don't bother me because I would swap it out for a compost. No night tables in bedroom. Lack of bedroom windows means lack of air flow. Sadly this rig has lots of storage but a very small carry capacity. By the time you add the hitch weight of a toad, the weight of the passengers and water...you are at max
It's nice to see Andrea back on the show & i hope you will enjoy your new house. You definetely deserved after all of that packing/unpacking :) Winnebago never disappoints when it comes to ruin a product with so much potential by just doing wrong little decisions. Even inside of this RV has typical bland Winnebago style i was thinking like "it's not looking so dull" and starting to even like it until the toilet disaster. Is it a huge deal breaker? It shouldn't be but it makes you feel like fooled by the manufacturer. Also you didn't mention but if there's no washer/dryer prep inside one of the closets it's a huge miss opportunity in my mind. Great review as always. Stay safe & have a nice weekend in advance.
If I’d ever consider going back to a motor home. This is 1 I’d seriously consider!!! Less is more in my book. Love all the information you guys give us !!
Matt I just love your facial expressions.... ! Your soooooooooo upset with the toilet.. ! And yes the colors are just Elplaino ..... ! Matt just cheer up.. Life is good.
You make solid points about the price point, and lack of model differentials. It seems like Winnebago just takes a model name and sets a price point with no thinking about what separates the models other than price.
Good to have Andrea back...I missed her. I have always respected Winnebago for their build quality, but like you both, this is about as bland as it gets. Some kind of accent wall or something to make this pop would be appreciated. A plastic toilet....come on Winnebago! I absolutely love the closet space (that's what I'm talking about), the drawers in the bedroom are also wonderful, love the counter top space, fridge, oven, theater seating, and outside storage along with a great plumbing bay. Thanks for another great review Matt and Andrea! You guys are still the best!
Love the floor plan in this one! I agree with your dislike of the plastic toilet. If Winnebago is known for quality, this should be standard if weight is compatible. The bedroom area is what got my attention on this one. A king bed, in a small class A, and lots of storage. Also love the theater seating, with tv directly across, and counter space in kitchen. I’m not as picky on the generic look as I am on quality and functionality. This is a top contender for us.
The motorhome was dirty inside and out. I love the length, and the layout is great but there should be daytime shades, a little better decor. Love the real oven & the fridge size.
Nice you can use it with the slide outs in but sad the didn’t put windows on both sids of the bed for cross ventilation. You guys do a great job! Thanks.
GODZILLA!!! So happy to see you back Andrea! Love the neutral colors. I’m not a flashy guy. Not a big fan of the boxy seating though. But as long as they’re comfortable. Nor the fuses in the basement. You know a fuse will blow at the most in opportune time. At a hundred and fifty thousand dollars you would think it would have a $73.00 trash can.lol! And for goodness sakes! A plastic toilet! Nice bedroom. But not having a window on both sides does seem weird. Like your likes and dislikes. The generic doesn’t bother me. But being cheap at this price point is ridiculous.
I really really love Winnebagos , There such nice rvs and really good quality . My in laws have a 1975 Winnebago Chief , it's so amazing how far along they came !
This rig has way too much storage when you consider the CCC, at just over a thousand pounds there is no way you would fill the storage bins. That is probably why the toilet is plastic. I like it as an RV goes but I couldn’t be able to deal with that low a Cargo Carrying Capacity. Nice review guys. ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!
There was something about this, I just couldn’t place it! Your right, it looks like an older used model! My 2012 Georgetown XL is far better than this one!
I like the plain decor. Sometimes the “fancy-shmancy” that gets put in is ugly. But, I agree with the plastic toilet and vents in the floor as big negatives.
Hi Matt and Andrea! Welcome Back!!🌺 I don't blame ya for saying that "Nobody" that second time! 🤭 😊Nice kitchen appliances, color, design, and ACs are great from the roof top!/Spacious living, bedroom, and kitchen area!/Another comfortable couch-like seat for Andrea (and also Matt-Driver's seat)!🤔Heat ducts-first thing that I saw./The button for the small front bunk is too far./Too dark all the way around./Awwh man ,plastic toilet.
Hi MATT, HI ANDREA Great to see you back Andrea..You guys really had to work too hard at smiling through this one, but I feel like you were very kind to Winnebago.. Even in todays market this Class A is $20.000 overpriced!!!!! Winnebago should be (em🚽barr🚽ass🚽ed) PLLAAASSSTTIIICC??? I’m a little embarrassed for them! BUT, as always great job 👍on the Video......👍
Overall I like this model, double fridge, 50amp, and king bed. I like the flooring and bedroom storage plus shoe cabinet at entrance. Downside bathroom toilet, lack of windows in bedroom and no day shades.
I totally agree with Matt. $182k before discount with 19.5" wheels, stickers instead and full paint and a " I shop at walmart looking interior". You also lose half your motorhome when you take a shower. Ugh!
Dislike vents in floor it is bland but like you say you can decorate yourself to make it yours not what manufacture wants you to have, plastic toilet 180,000 🙁 . Likes outside storage TV placement and counter space. Great job welcome back 🐶😻
When you chose your new house did someone else decorate it for you? Were the curtains and furniture all chosen by someone else? Some people like simple settings they can decorate to their own taste. The decor being used today will someday seem as dated as a 1978 RV I recently saw with the colors and flower patterns that were popular then. Just food for thought.
You make a good point but unless you’re planning to full-time in a Class A, you don’t expect to pay 100-grand or more for a new part-time toy that you immediately have to drop another 20K or more to dress it up. Nothing about Winnebago’s interiors sets them apart, especially between the different models they offer. Most people will not pay top dollar for lackluster.
They also need pull drawers under bench seat at table, the bedroom needs a window,on other side and a choice of Queen bed with bigger end tables and a real porcelain toilet needed and lower price by about 20,000 or more.
I completely agree with everything you guys were spot on pretty ballsy to ask 1:40 for something so Bland in poor quality. I wanted Aundrea to say that one of the dislikes was the tiny microwave and the tiny oven you get something bigger in a class C
👍 Wow caught this one for a review with the engine still warm from the delivery from the factory, road grime and all. L: cockpit & chassis; kitchen and appliances (oven!); bedroom size and overall amount of cabinetry storage, also ext. storage; thank you for enclosing the water inlets. D: plastic pooper arrrgh, boring color on the cabinetry wish the bedroom cabinets were a shade or two different; a tile or different backsplash esp. near cooktop. Please stay safe everyone. 😷😷😷😷
I agree with your likes and dislikes. I own an Outlook that it's for sale because I ordered a 2022 Entegra Vision 29S. Winnebago is the Toyota of motorhomes, great build quality, but very boring . I'm surprised that the kitchen sink is not plastic like my Outlook. One thing I noticed is that on the bank of drawers in the kitchen, the top drawer looks different that the other 3 drawers. As always a very honest review, thank you.
I love the space with the slides in!! Great storage space! Love the two ACs. I can live with the basic design, cuz as Andrea said, seen too many questionable valances and fabric choices. Agree that it needs a porcelain potty. Dislike floor vents, dislike the lack of a window on both sides of the bed (for cross ventilation). Overall, I really like this one.
Plastic toilet is just not meant to be in any RV‼️ I prefer the plain look so I can decorate with my own choices. It's price is just to high! Not liking 19 inch tires, but much cheaper to replace . 22 inch tires are much nicer, and looks much better. Love your honest opinions on these RVs😊
Matt, I disagree with everything you say except "Andrea, you are right" 🙋♂️👨 (just kidding) This unit is $40,000 too much. If it had the 22.5 tires - it may be worth $110,000 but the 19.5 tires are going to feel weird on a unit this size. Having the 'power cord' in the 'water bay' just feels like a problem waiting to happen There was a table setup between the cab seats! Does that mean the seats swivel? If the passenger seat swivels, then there is a danger with the steps right there. This may have the Winnebago brand, but it's not made for my driveway.
3 dislikes: 1. Color scheme both inside and out. 2. Plastic toliet. 3. Also, while popular with manufacturers, I am not a fan of bunk over cabs. I'd rather have a large TV there. 3 likes: 1. Quality 2. Large fridge 3. Lots of storage inside. I like the floor plan with the front seats swiveling, the mid area looks like a nice living area. Love that with slides in, still plenty of space and ability to still be used. Love the shoe cabinet near the door. Absolutely love the controls are behind s door.
Matt and Andrea I agree with you. But my brother has always instilled in me to buy a winnebago and he's usually right about vehicles. So I would buy a winnebago if I could out of all the rvs especially if I can get a price that's really.really 👍
You are totally right. If I'm going to pay the price for a Winnebago, I'm going to expect top of the line everything, and that includes the toilet. Although, I love the layout of this motorhome, it has no design style, not to mention the plastic toilet and I wouldn't spend my money on it.
I like the bland interior and all the storage space and like the propane refer those all electric ones are not good for boondocking and run your batteries down..
One observation about the laptop desk. I prefer the ones that slide out because you can leave your laptop on it while you move it. Kitchen was good. Storage great outside. It a huge fan of split bathrooms in class As. Main reason I would not buy this is where was the $83 TRASH can! Lol.
We like the floorplan, but maybe they could have skrimpped here and there to make space and weight for a washer and dryer. And how many TVs do you need when camping?
Thumbs down to bathroom but thumbs up to exterior! I know you guys are busy ! Wil should have waited for his vacation!!!! Waiting for a email response! Tires are a little small!?
Love this motorhome! Love that it's neutral so you can decorate any color you want and neutral won't go out of style. Nice counteryop space in kitchen and bathroom. Speaking of bathroom, a PLASTIC toilet????
3 things I like: bedroom closets, split bath, oven. 3things I dislike: small kitchen sinks, if I am doing dishes I am blocking the tv for people watching it; small shower
Likes: 1) RV Two-way Fridge 2) Storage 3) Accessibility with slides in Dislikes: 1) Colors still a bit too dark 2) Plastic sink/toilet in bathroom 3) Vents in floor Overall a pretty good effort. None of the dislikes would be a deal-breaker, but other brands without the same issues and at the same price point would lure me away. Winnebago needs to do something to place themselves above the rest.
Hi ' Matt, and Andrea, glad 😊 ☺ to see you both! I get disappointed like you said, Matt, because of the plastic toilet, for $140,000 thousand RV's? And at least with combo washer and dryer,? But ' nothing 🙃 I passed! The good 👍 thing is you both together ❤ 💕 till next time!!!
Likes: the room when the slides are in is great, the computer table in the front, nice quiet drop down bunk Dislikes: For the price you can't have an exposed shower (needs to all be in a bathroom), put in a solid large convection oven and get rid of the oven, feels like a cheap motorhome
All that storage and cargo carrying capacity is only 1690 pounds? I love this. Perfect for couples, great length and lots of storage but I'd be scared to overload it. I am fine with quality bland, but price too high for me. Great bedroom, tons of storage, need window both sides of bed. Plastic toilet no. Not sure I like separate shower but could have separation getting ready so can be good. Microwave seems small and should be convection for price even with the oven. Should also have daytime shades. Storage inside and outside I'll say again is fantastic. Love fridge. no linen closet in bathroom. Love ability and livability with slides in.
Likes: 1. When the slides are closed everything is accessible. 2. Recliners 3. Storage Dislikes: 1. The plastic toilet is ridiculous 2. The aesthetics needs work on the Winnebagos. I agree with Matt and Andrea on this. 3. As far as the vents on the floor... it is not necessarily a dislike. I don’t like that so many were in one place BUT that type of system is more efficient (watch Josh from Hayley RV explain this and he is absolutely right about the efficiency. It is called quality). No it doesn’t look good but it far more efficient and there are ways for it not to be so problematic (watch Izzy and MJ) when it comes to dirt getting in them). So this isn’t a like or a dislike ...
Yeah, it wouldn't be hard to spice it up. The great thing about it being so bland is it gives you so many options to do your own thing, like a blank canvas
I'm wondering if the plastic toilet was due to the Covid shortages. If the porcelain toilet delivery was 3 months out they may have used the on hand plastic to get it out the door and on the dealership lot.
I like like the way it looks inside, but not the tv placement. What I ask myself when I look at these bigger motorhomes is. What does it give me that the motorhome Matt and Andrea are buying does not. That is a smaller motorhome, yet has a sofa with a tv not up high and opposite the sofa. Winnebago's as Matt said have build quality. But then you find all those floor vents. If I come in from outside, I want to be able to brush the dirt out without it falling down a floor vent. And this one has a lot of floor vents just where I'm going to be sweeping out the dirt. So that would make it a no sale for me.
Likes: A TON of storage, including King bed with roomy storage below. (BUT you cannot load a ton, only 1700#) Water bay not blocked by slideouts. Lots of kitchen drawers, plus big fridge, plus pantry Dislikes: No window on one side of bed Were dinette seat storage covers hinged? Split bath
Matt, you lost focus on the big picture. I have this same rig, a 2018 Vista 32YE. It's has the identical floorplan, and that's what this rig excels at. The floorplan provides LOADS of storage, inside and out. I don't like the TV location in that rig because it's too much work opening that important kitchen cabinet door that weighs so much. That would be a PIA! I even hate opening the door in the bedroom with the smaller TV. Fortunately my living room TV is located on the wall that faces forward, visible only when the slide is out. I like that better than being mounted on that kitchen cabinet door. Winnebago does cut corners, like the plastic toilet which I spent $200 to replace myself, and only one bedroom window instead of two, with one for each side so both people can get air while sleeping. I had to install a fan on our ONE WINDOW so I could get some air on my side. Then, there's the pantry, I build a slide out pantry to get more useable space, easy to access (like Fleetwood does) instead of those doors with trays, which is ridiculous. As for the vents in the floor, you both hate that, but I think you're silly for making such a big deal of it. Those vents are easily removed to vacuum out, but there's never much in there to clean out, unless you have kids putting stuff in there on purpose. I think the floor vents are a non issue, but you always make an issue of it. IMO this is one of the best floorplans in the industry, so I'll take the warts and love the floorplan. I will admit I've spent about $10K modifying mine with all the things it should have had from the manufacturer. Like 36" deep drawers under each dinette seat, and two 30" deep drawers under our couch (instead of theater seats), along with 2 drawers in the bedroom closet, where the knockouts are in the bottom, along with some shelves above the drawers to use the space better, because it's caverness. The last thing I had to change is the electrical cord. They screwed up and put the cord in the dump bay, where it DOESNN'T belong. Have you tried to feed that cord through the hole in the bay bottom on a cold day? IMPOSSIBLE!! k That thick cord is too stiff !!! You need to CLOSE that basement door on freezing nights to protect plumbing, and you can't because you have to pull the cord out the of the compartment and you can't close the door, all because you cannot feed the cord through the basement floor hole. I had to reroute the cord to a Marinco exterior waterproof connector that I installed on the side of the rig, next to the gas cap. Many rigs use this setup, but not Winnebago. Now I plug the cord into the side of the RV, much easier, and the dump bay now holds the dump hose inside without disconnecting it from the plumbing, making tank dumping fast and easy. I store the shoreline 50A cord in the basement, and it's easy to install and remove, and I can EASILY close my dump bay door on freezing nights to protect the plumbing. I love this rig for it's floorplan, it's got good bones, but it does take some effort to get things right, which Winnebago should have done at the factory. But I think that's why they offer the Adventurer, so they can get more of your money.
I have to agree with both Matt and Andrea, this rig is over $140K and looks like a $80K class C to me. It is unfortunate because the size and the amount of storage inside and out are fantastic. I would let go of the plastic toilet, the vents on the floor and the split bathroom (my dislike) and the bland look of it if it wasn't $140K. I can decorate, change the toilet and cover the vents when I don't need them but for a less than $140K.
If I'm going to spend $140k on a motorhome, I don't want the interior to look like an $80k motorhome. I also don't want to spend $20k remodeling it. Winnebago's are great, but like you said, they need to differentiate more between models, rather than a "one-size-fits-all" approach.
Agreed
Not to mention a plastic toilet, lol. It's like they weren't even trying
Exactly.
I agree with you about everything on this coach. We formally owned a 36' Sunstar and loved it. The quality was outstanding, the décor, not so much. Our current piece of junk, that we had traded in for, has beautiful décor and features, but the quality is the worst!!! I would take quality over beauty any day!
Always appreciate the honesty from both of you....super valuable and why we trust you. Love the integrity
Love the big seats up front,and the work station,so handy.love you can walk through with slides in.love the box seats.hate the cabinetry at this price.hate plastic for toilets or facets.everyone who helped while andrea was gone did awesome job,although I would buy from any of you,I do love you two together best !! Ty
Matt & Andrea thank you for always being honest ... 3 Things I Like: 1) King Size bed, 2) Storage Space & 3) Partial Body Paint but 3 Things I Hate: 1) Bathroom Plastic Toilet & Sink 2) Fridge (Not Residential for the Price) & 3) Interior Colors (Bland)
Welcome back Andrea.
Hey Matt & Andrea! Welcome back and we missed you! Congratulations on your new home! I hope that life brings you what you deserve. Take care and Peace!
Thank you so much Nicholas 😊
Love the entryway shoe cabinet! Love Winnebago cabinet. We love the split bathroom we have it in our Intent. Winnebago does need to up their game with the toilets.
I think the fact that Winnebago makes a lot of their own components has limited the choices they have for decor. They don’t want to have to make a ton of different options. My opinion. 🤷🏽♀️
Sometimes bland is good. Now you can add your own style and decor without clashing.
Thank you; I agree.
Where to begin? We started out our motorhoming life with an Itasca Navion. We loved it and we thought when we bought a Class A we'd stay with Winnebago. But this product exemplifies what is wrong with the choices Winnebago has made in their class A series today. This would have been a great motorhome 15 years ago but now as a new model it is out the door completely dated. So . . ..
3 Things I like:
1. Storage. It has that in spades. Nice job W.
2. Accessibility of Inverter, Water Pump, and other systems.
3. Actual inline drain valves instead of plugs for the freshwater and low point drains.
Things I don't like (way more than 3)
1. No outside shower. This is really convenient to have when winterizing/de-winterizing.
2. Cheap plastic 2-lever faucets.
3. Cheap acrylic bathroom sink
4. Cheap plastic toilet. (Our 2007 Navion had the same toilet.)
5. OnePlace monitor? Really!? Come on . . where's the multiplex wiring and panel?
6. No full body paint option.
7. You have to pay extra for 50 amp and 2 air conditioners. No way one A/C cools this unit.
8. No windows in the bedroom. You are running the air on even the nicest nights.
9. Bland interior with limited or no choices in upholstery or colors.
10. No electric option for the water heater.
11. Floor vents instead of integration into cabinets.
I'll give Winnie credit on their build. They do a great job there as far as not cheaping out on putting shelves in cabinets, and continuing to use struts to hold cabinet doors open, etc. Those things are all good. But when we shopped we wound up buying a Georgetown because they had left Winnebago in the dust as far as amenities. Nobody else is using plastic toilets and acrylic sinks at this price point. We have a single lever, metal kitchen faucet. (Apparently, nobody at Winnebago has ever tried to conserve water while camping.) And why not have the water heater with electric option? If I'm paying for electric at a campsite why would I want to burn my propane to heat water? And the OnePlace monitoring system? Again, our 2007 Navion had that.
The length is very manageable especially for newer RVers! Thomyt
I really like the neutral color. I can add pops of color that I like. Keep making those!
I love all the interior and exterior storage,the floor layout and simple colors. I dislike the plastic toilet and the bedroom needs more windows. Welcome back Andrea!!
The vents on the floor is a definite deal breaker. As is the plastic toilet.
Hi Matt and Andrea! It’s great to see you again Andrea! My likes I like the storage inside and out. You move around really well with slides in and out. Like the theater seats. Like the counter space. Like the bedroom wardrobe space. My dislikes are the sane as yours Matt and Andrea! Welcome back Andrea! Glad to see you back! Missed you! See you both soon!
OMG, I love love love this one. I love the recliners and layout so much. Where you see bland, I see where I can make this my own style. The wet bay is wonderful. Love the plain valences so they don't clash with my objects that I put in there. This is timeless and classy. Until this video, I was going to go with Thor, but now I have to do more research. I don't care for only one window in the bed slide and the plastic toilet. Would rather have a queen bed and more side tables.
I love the neutral decor. Add a beautiful bedspread, a small rug to collect the sand from foot traffic , a picture or two, and a couple throw pillows to customize to the individual’s taste. I would rather have a neutral decor then some of the stuck in the 80s or 70s basement decor many of the manufacturers turn out. I will take quality over interior design any day. BTW: Matt - I drive a VOLVO! (Not lying!!!). Love you all! Good luck with the new house.
I am happy to see a simpler interior so I can add MY touches. I do not love a lot of interiors because they are too gaudy.
Liked the Chevy, ford, Buick analogy. Whenever my budget could, we loved our Buick’s.
It’s a beautiful motor home. When you buy a house, you decorate it to your likings and taste. I don’t usually care for the color schemes of most RV’s. This lets me decide what to do with it. It has almost every other amenity you guys normally desire, except for the porcelain toilet. Your tastes are not always the same as others.
I do want to know why you did not have the thing washed before showing the outside. That’s your error, Matt. That’s a dislike from me to you. LOL!
Other than that, great job as usual.
Matt & Andrea
Well, not a bad unit over all, plain but very functional. A few items that I don't particularly care for is.... the Generator is in the bedroom area, shower across from the washroom, and radio/nav screen to small, sure would be nice if the radio/ nav screen would tilt or swivel toward the driver or passenger.
Andrea, it's nice to see you again. Moving is always a pain with packing. I hope your move goes/went smoothly. At least you have a pool to look forward to.
This RV is nice, I definitely like the outside doors, with the slam latch and that they open to the side. Much easier to access.
For that much $$$, I they could not only have put in a porcelain toilet, but also made the storage underneath the dinette accessable by drawers or doors. I see that in class C's and the towables Matt & Will show plenty.
Whooot. Andrea is Back!!!
TV is miss placed. How can I cook or do dishes while my hubby is trying to watch TV? I like the color scheme and the amount of counter space. should have a window over the stove. Shoe storage is nice. I like the kitchen storage. I like the bathroom storage. Plastic toilets don't bother me because I would swap it out for a compost. No night tables in bedroom. Lack of bedroom windows means lack of air flow. Sadly this rig has lots of storage but a very small carry capacity. By the time you add the hitch weight of a toad, the weight of the passengers and water...you are at max
Lol hubby can cook and do dishes while you watch tv instead lol 😂

It's nice to see Andrea back on the show & i hope you will enjoy your new house. You definetely deserved after all of that packing/unpacking :)
Winnebago never disappoints when it comes to ruin a product with so much potential by just doing wrong little decisions. Even inside of this RV has typical bland Winnebago style i was thinking like "it's not looking so dull" and starting to even like it until the toilet disaster. Is it a huge deal breaker? It shouldn't be but it makes you feel like fooled by the manufacturer. Also you didn't mention but if there's no washer/dryer prep inside one of the closets it's a huge miss opportunity in my mind. Great review as always. Stay safe & have a nice weekend in advance.
If I’d ever consider going back to a motor home. This is 1 I’d seriously consider!!! Less is more in my book. Love all the information you guys give us !!
Nobody!:) Welcome back Andrea! Congrats on move .
Matt I just love your facial expressions.... ! Your soooooooooo upset with the toilet.. ! And yes the colors are just Elplaino ..... ! Matt just cheer up.. Life is good.
It's a good thing that we have Andrea to make sure that Matt doesn't miss any specs.
You make solid points about the price point, and lack of model differentials.
It seems like Winnebago just takes a model name and sets a price point with no thinking about what separates the models other than price.
Why do I always get butterflies in my stomach when Matt goes up the ladder
Good to have Andrea back...I missed her. I have always respected Winnebago for their build quality, but like you both, this is about as bland as it gets. Some kind of accent wall or something to make this pop would be appreciated. A plastic toilet....come on Winnebago! I absolutely love the closet space (that's what I'm talking about), the drawers in the bedroom are also wonderful, love the counter top space, fridge, oven, theater seating, and outside storage along with a great plumbing bay. Thanks for another great review Matt and Andrea! You guys are still the best!
Love the floor plan in this one! I agree with your dislike of the plastic toilet. If Winnebago is known for quality, this should be standard if weight is compatible. The bedroom area is what got my attention on this one. A king bed, in a small class A, and lots of storage. Also love the theater seating, with tv directly across, and counter space in kitchen. I’m not as picky on the generic look as I am on quality and functionality. This is a top contender for us.
The motorhome was dirty inside and out.
I love the length, and the layout is great but there should be daytime shades, a little better decor. Love the real oven & the fridge size.
Nice you can use it with the slide outs in but sad the didn’t put windows on both sids of the bed for cross ventilation. You guys do a great job! Thanks.
GODZILLA!!! So happy to see you back Andrea! Love the neutral colors. I’m not a flashy guy. Not a big fan of the boxy seating though. But as long as they’re comfortable. Nor the fuses in the basement. You know a fuse will blow at the most in opportune time. At a hundred and fifty thousand dollars you would think it would have a $73.00 trash can.lol! And for goodness sakes! A plastic toilet! Nice bedroom. But not having a window on both sides does seem weird. Like your likes and dislikes. The generic doesn’t bother me. But being cheap at this price point is ridiculous.
You are right about the look. But the storage is great. They need some COLOR in there. Where was the sink covers ?
I really really love Winnebagos , There such nice rvs and really good quality . My in laws have a 1975 Winnebago Chief , it's so amazing how far along they came !
I love Matt’s face when it’s a plastic toilet.
This rig has way too much storage when you consider the CCC, at just over a thousand pounds there is no way you would fill the storage bins. That is probably why the toilet is plastic. I like it as an RV goes but I couldn’t be able to deal with that low a Cargo Carrying Capacity. Nice review guys. ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!
Looks like an older used unit not a new model. Just what I always wanted - the sewer hose dump next to my drinking water connections and filter.
There was something about this, I just couldn’t place it! Your right, it looks like an older used model!
My 2012 Georgetown XL is far better than this one!
Moving is the worst. Glad Andrea is back!
I like the plain decor. Sometimes the “fancy-shmancy” that gets put in is ugly. But, I agree with the plastic toilet and vents in the floor as big negatives.
Hi Matt and Andrea! Welcome Back!!🌺 I don't blame ya for saying that "Nobody" that second time! 🤭 😊Nice kitchen appliances, color, design, and ACs are great from the roof top!/Spacious living, bedroom, and kitchen area!/Another comfortable couch-like seat for Andrea (and also Matt-Driver's seat)!🤔Heat ducts-first thing that I saw./The button for the small front bunk is too far./Too dark all the way around./Awwh man ,plastic toilet.
Cons: Absorption fridge and low CCC. I had the four-door Norcold fire....
Hi MATT, HI ANDREA Great to see you back Andrea..You guys really had to work too hard at smiling through this one, but I feel like you were very kind to Winnebago..
Even in todays market this Class A is $20.000 overpriced!!!!! Winnebago should be (em🚽barr🚽ass🚽ed) PLLAAASSSTTIIICC??? I’m a little embarrassed for them! BUT, as always great job 👍on the Video......👍
Matt, your disappointment about the toilet was palpable. 140k and you get a plastic toilet... there better be a 183 dollar trash can :) lol
There also was no backslpash in the kitchen. Surely they were not THAT worried about weight?
@@kittyhouse1028 With only 1600 lbs CCC, they probably were. Almost guaranteed to be overweight once loaded.
Overall I like this model, double fridge, 50amp, and king bed. I like the flooring and bedroom storage plus shoe cabinet at entrance. Downside bathroom toilet, lack of windows in bedroom and no day shades.
I want to like it, so other than the square theater seating, the plastic toilet, the hallway shower and the lofty price, this is a decent floor plan!
I totally agree with Matt. $182k before discount with 19.5" wheels, stickers instead and full paint and a " I shop at walmart looking interior". You also lose half your motorhome when you take a shower.
Ugh!
Dislike vents in floor it is bland but like you say you can decorate yourself to make it yours not what manufacture wants you to have, plastic toilet 180,000 🙁 . Likes outside storage TV placement and counter space. Great job welcome back 🐶😻
When you chose your new house did someone else decorate it for you? Were the curtains and furniture all chosen by someone else? Some people like simple settings they can decorate to their own taste. The decor being used today will someday seem as dated as a 1978 RV I recently saw with the colors and flower patterns that were popular then. Just food for thought.
I agree but also you can’t tell you are in a higher end RV or not. There is no upgraded look in the cabinets for instance.
You make a good point but unless you’re planning to full-time in a Class A, you don’t expect to pay 100-grand or more for a new part-time toy that you immediately have to drop another 20K or more to dress it up. Nothing about Winnebago’s interiors sets them apart, especially between the different models they offer. Most people will not pay top dollar for lackluster.
100% AGREE!!!
They also need pull drawers under bench seat at table, the bedroom needs a window,on other side and a choice of Queen bed with bigger end tables and a real porcelain toilet needed and lower price by about 20,000 or more.
I completely agree with everything you guys were spot on pretty ballsy to ask 1:40 for something so Bland in poor quality. I wanted Aundrea to say that one of the dislikes was the tiny microwave and the tiny oven you get something bigger in a class C
👍 Wow caught this one for a review with the engine still warm from the delivery from the factory, road grime and all. L: cockpit & chassis; kitchen and appliances (oven!); bedroom size and overall amount of cabinetry storage, also ext. storage; thank you for enclosing the water inlets. D: plastic pooper arrrgh, boring color on the cabinetry wish the bedroom cabinets were a shade or two different; a tile or different backsplash esp. near cooktop. Please stay safe everyone. 😷😷😷😷
I agree with your likes and dislikes. I own an Outlook that it's for sale because I ordered a 2022 Entegra Vision 29S. Winnebago is the Toyota of motorhomes, great build quality, but very boring . I'm surprised that the kitchen sink is not plastic like my Outlook. One thing I noticed is that on the bank of drawers in the kitchen, the top drawer looks different that the other 3 drawers. As always a very honest review, thank you.
I love the space with the slides in!! Great storage space! Love the two ACs. I can live with the basic design, cuz as Andrea said, seen too many questionable valances and fabric choices. Agree that it needs a porcelain potty. Dislike floor vents, dislike the lack of a window on both sides of the bed (for cross ventilation). Overall, I really like this one.
Plastic toilet is just not meant to be in any RV‼️
I prefer the plain look so I can decorate with my own choices.
It's price is just to high! Not liking 19 inch tires, but much cheaper to replace . 22 inch tires are much nicer, and looks much better.
Love your honest opinions on these RVs😊
Matt, I disagree with everything you say except "Andrea, you are right" 🙋♂️👨 (just kidding)
This unit is $40,000 too much.
If it had the 22.5 tires - it may be worth $110,000 but the 19.5 tires are going to feel weird on a unit this size.
Having the 'power cord' in the 'water bay' just feels like a problem waiting to happen
There was a table setup between the cab seats! Does that mean the seats swivel?
If the passenger seat swivels, then there is a danger with the steps right there.
This may have the Winnebago brand, but it's not made for my driveway.
I really like this motorhome. I don’t mind the simple interior. The only thing I’m not a huge fan of is the split bathroom.
3 dislikes:
1. Color scheme both inside and out.
2. Plastic toliet.
3.
Also, while popular with manufacturers, I am not a fan of bunk over cabs. I'd rather have a large TV there.
3 likes:
1. Quality
2. Large fridge
3. Lots of storage inside.
I like the floor plan with the front seats swiveling, the mid area looks like a nice living area.
Love that with slides in, still plenty of space and ability to still be used.
Love the shoe cabinet near the door.
Absolutely love the controls are behind s door.
Matt and Andrea I agree with you. But my brother has always instilled in me to buy a winnebago and he's usually right about vehicles. So I would buy a winnebago if I could out of all the rvs especially if I can get a price that's really.really 👍
Not bland tasteful. Drawers are good. Like walkthrough bathroom.
You can't open the closet doors when the slide is in. Its meh. I have to agree Matt. And this is the one we were waiting to see too.
Matt ! Good job you need to always tell it like it is good or bad !!!!👍
You are totally right. If I'm going to pay the price for a Winnebago, I'm going to expect top of the line everything, and that includes the toilet. Although, I love the layout of this motorhome, it has no design style, not to mention the plastic toilet and I wouldn't spend my money on it.
I like the bland interior and all the storage space and like the propane refer those all electric ones are not good for boondocking and run your batteries down..
I wish it had washer dryer prep in one of the wardrobes.
One observation about the laptop desk. I prefer the ones that slide out because you can leave your laptop on it while you move it. Kitchen was good. Storage great outside. It a huge fan of split bathrooms in class As.
Main reason I would not buy this is where was the $83 TRASH can! Lol.
Don’t mind the blandness. Would like 7500# hitch. Longer wheelbase. Non boxy theater seating. Like all the storage.
We like the floorplan, but maybe they could have skrimpped here and there to make space and weight for a washer and dryer. And how many TVs do you need when camping?
Finally, plain as it is all storage on the camping side of the rv.
This is awesome! I’ve been a subscriber since 15 k
I'm sorry but I love this one it's perfect for boondocking
I don’t understand what you need about the slides when boondocking. Can’t you just slide them out as usual?
Sometimes people boondock in cities or on seawalls where they can't open the slides
It doesn't look "bland" it looks ready to add my own personal touch. 😊
Matt, need to do a review of their bunk model...please
Thumbs down to bathroom but thumbs up to exterior! I know you guys are busy ! Wil should have waited for his vacation!!!! Waiting for a email response! Tires are a little small!?
Love this motorhome! Love that it's neutral so you can decorate any color you want and neutral won't go out of style. Nice counteryop space in kitchen and bathroom. Speaking of bathroom, a PLASTIC toilet????
3 things I like: bedroom closets, split bath, oven. 3things I dislike: small kitchen sinks, if I am doing dishes I am blocking the tv for people watching it; small shower
I dislike having the Transfer Switch in the Wet Bay LOL
I love the storage, storage, storage. Kinda blah floor vents??
🎉Yay! You're back.🥳
Cargo carrying capacity seemed light. May be plastic toilet was an effort to bump up CCC.
Likes:
1) RV Two-way Fridge
2) Storage
3) Accessibility with slides in
Dislikes:
1) Colors still a bit too dark
2) Plastic sink/toilet in bathroom
3) Vents in floor
Overall a pretty good effort. None of the dislikes would be a deal-breaker, but other brands without the same issues and at the same price point would lure me away. Winnebago needs to do something to place themselves above the rest.
Hi ' Matt, and Andrea, glad 😊 ☺ to see you both! I get disappointed like you said, Matt, because of the plastic toilet, for $140,000 thousand RV's? And at least with combo washer and dryer,? But ' nothing 🙃 I passed! The good 👍 thing is you both together ❤ 💕 till next time!!!
Likes: the room when the slides are in is great, the computer table in the front, nice quiet drop down bunk
Dislikes: For the price you can't have an exposed shower (needs to all be in a bathroom), put in a solid large convection oven and get rid of the oven, feels like a cheap motorhome
We are hoping for the Winnebago 37F.
All that storage and cargo carrying capacity is only 1690 pounds? I love this. Perfect for couples, great length and lots of storage but I'd be scared to overload it. I am fine with quality bland, but price too high for me. Great bedroom, tons of storage, need window both sides of bed. Plastic toilet no. Not sure I like separate shower but could have separation getting ready so can be good. Microwave seems small and should be convection for price even with the oven.
Should also have daytime shades. Storage inside and outside I'll say again is fantastic. Love fridge. no linen closet in bathroom. Love ability and livability with slides in.
Likes:
1. When the slides are closed everything is accessible.
2. Recliners
3. Storage
Dislikes:
1. The plastic toilet is ridiculous
2. The aesthetics needs work on the Winnebagos. I agree with Matt and Andrea on this.
3. As far as the vents on the floor... it is not necessarily a dislike. I don’t like that so many were in one place BUT that type of system is more efficient (watch Josh from Hayley RV explain this and he is absolutely right about the efficiency. It is called quality). No it doesn’t look good but it far more efficient and there are ways for it not to be so problematic (watch Izzy and MJ) when it comes to dirt getting in them). So this isn’t a like or a dislike ...
For bland, I like this, you make it your own.
Yeah, it wouldn't be hard to spice it up. The great thing about it being so bland is it gives you so many options to do your own thing, like a blank canvas
Thanks for another great video!
I'm wondering if the plastic toilet was due to the Covid shortages.
If the porcelain toilet delivery was 3 months out they may have used the on hand plastic to get it out the door and on the dealership lot.
I like like the way it looks inside, but not the tv placement. What I ask myself when I look at these bigger motorhomes is. What does it give me that the motorhome Matt and Andrea are buying does not. That is a smaller motorhome, yet has a sofa with a tv not up high and opposite the sofa. Winnebago's as Matt said have build quality. But then you find all those floor vents. If I come in from outside, I want to be able to brush the dirt out without it falling down a floor vent. And this one has a lot of floor vents just where I'm going to be sweeping out the dirt. So that would make it a no sale for me.
matt you should tell people about your add ons prep and doc fees
Likes:
A TON of storage, including King bed with roomy storage below. (BUT you cannot load a ton, only 1700#)
Water bay not blocked by slideouts.
Lots of kitchen drawers, plus big fridge, plus pantry
Dislikes:
No window on one side of bed
Were dinette seat storage covers hinged?
Split bath
For the price I would thought it been a little more class.
What is “class”? It’s all in the eye of the beholder.
This would look so much better without all the graphics. That light tan or off white looks great all by itself
Matt, you lost focus on the big picture. I have this same rig, a 2018 Vista 32YE. It's has the identical floorplan, and that's what this rig excels at. The floorplan provides LOADS of storage, inside and out. I don't like the TV location in that rig because it's too much work opening that important kitchen cabinet door that weighs so much. That would be a PIA! I even hate opening the door in the bedroom with the smaller TV. Fortunately my living room TV is located on the wall that faces forward, visible only when the slide is out. I like that better than being mounted on that kitchen cabinet door. Winnebago does cut corners, like the plastic toilet which I spent $200 to replace myself, and only one bedroom window instead of two, with one for each side so both people can get air while sleeping. I had to install a fan on our ONE WINDOW so I could get some air on my side. Then, there's the pantry, I build a slide out pantry to get more useable space, easy to access (like Fleetwood does) instead of those doors with trays, which is ridiculous. As for the vents in the floor, you both hate that, but I think you're silly for making such a big deal of it. Those vents are easily removed to vacuum out, but there's never much in there to clean out, unless you have kids putting stuff in there on purpose. I think the floor vents are a non issue, but you always make an issue of it. IMO this is one of the best floorplans in the industry, so I'll take the warts and love the floorplan. I will admit I've spent about $10K modifying mine with all the things it should have had from the manufacturer. Like 36" deep drawers under each dinette seat, and two 30" deep drawers under our couch (instead of theater seats), along with 2 drawers in the bedroom closet, where the knockouts are in the bottom, along with some shelves above the drawers to use the space better, because it's caverness. The last thing I had to change is the electrical cord. They screwed up and put the cord in the dump bay, where it DOESNN'T belong. Have you tried to feed that cord through the hole in the bay bottom on a cold day? IMPOSSIBLE!! k That thick cord is too stiff !!! You need to CLOSE that basement door on freezing nights to protect plumbing, and you can't because you have to pull the cord out the of the compartment and you can't close the door, all because you cannot feed the cord through the basement floor hole. I had to reroute the cord to a Marinco exterior waterproof connector that I installed on the side of the rig, next to the gas cap. Many rigs use this setup, but not Winnebago. Now I plug the cord into the side of the RV, much easier, and the dump bay now holds the dump hose inside without disconnecting it from the plumbing, making tank dumping fast and easy. I store the shoreline 50A cord in the basement, and it's easy to install and remove, and I can EASILY close my dump bay door on freezing nights to protect the plumbing. I love this rig for it's floorplan, it's got good bones, but it does take some effort to get things right, which Winnebago should have done at the factory. But I think that's why they offer the Adventurer, so they can get more of your money.
I have to agree with both Matt and Andrea, this rig is over $140K and looks like a $80K class C to me. It is unfortunate because the size and the amount of storage inside and out are fantastic. I would let go of the plastic toilet, the vents on the floor and the split bathroom (my dislike) and the bland look of it if it wasn't $140K. I can decorate, change the toilet and cover the vents when I don't need them but for a less than $140K.
